BMC Proposes Cancellation of NSCI Worli Lease Over Unauthorized Non-Sporting Events
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has proposed canceling the National Sports Club of India's (NSCI) lease for its Worli premises, alleging violations of lease terms by hosting numerous non-sporting events without prior permission. Between 2020 and 2025, NSCI held 207 events, with over 93% being non-sporting. A prior show-cause notice was issued in 2025, but NSCI's response was deemed unsatisfactory. The BMC also flagged 66 non-sporting events held in early 2026 without required approvals, raising concerns among NSCI members about legal and financial implications.
